Battle of Yuletide 2012- The Frost Heart Cult

Christmas, Navidad, Yuletide, Saturnalia, Hogmanay… these are the festivals of the winter solstice. However, what do they mean…

It is a time of great magic. A time of gift-giving, celebration, feasting and the participating of miracles. Let’s go back to how it began…

Occasionally known as Yuletide, this was one of the eight grand holidays of the old gods. This holiday was the celebration of the Winter Solstice. This festival has been associated with the Wild Hunt as well as festivities of eating and drinking. The Midwinter feast was considered the final party before going back to sleep for the deep winter and keeping the harvest to last through the dark frosty hibernation. To not feed the cattle, they were killed and thus fresh meat was available during this time. Also, the beer and wine was fermented enough to be drank and enjoyed. It was also considered to be the rebirth of the sun.

During this festival in the frost, when there is no warmth from the outside, the wood is burned at the hearth and the warmth within the hearts of humanity was shared. A party before going to sleep and a celebration of death and rebirth as the year near its end and a new one beginning soon. A mysterious elderly hunter would ride and leave gifts of food, drink and toys for those who had done good in the world. A man who was religious and gave gifts, St. Nicolas. The man who would become Santa Claus.

However... something horrible had happened one day...

An evil cult had gathered dark power from a strange stone that appeared from the sky. The cult has been broken by life and turned to a god of evil. They made theirs hearts of ice and they loathed the hearth and warmth of the holidays. So they planned to plant the venom of bitter ice in everyone so all the world would be frozen in hatred forever. An eternal icy prison.

However, the Saint was brave and powerful and called upon seven legendary heroes to assist in his battle. The war was fierce but in the end, the seven heroes poured their hearts into a fiery power and banished the cult away before sealing the evil into a large ornate music box. The songs of their memories would play and guard the deity. The cost was great, the heroes died and the magic had to lay dormant.

Yuletide faded and gained rebirth through what is known as Christmas...

This Winter Solstice however... the ancient seal has decayed... The frigid spirit of hatred lived on and even today, there are several people who detest the warmth and in vengeance and envy, drawn to the remains of the temple ruins. Their hearts became frozen and their soul’s corrupted. Now serving as the new cult, they plan to break the music box and once more end the world in 2012. However…

You are a high schooler. From 14-18, you are participating in your school's 100th birthday through a large Christmas party held in the Hallow Forest in the town of Mystic Valley. Having arrived, you spot a young couple with white hair with a table with seven trinkets. You and your comrades will be drawn to these trinkets and as the clock counts down to midnight...

The 12 Day Trial is about to begin…

A special hour where the fright fight begins... It will be one long night... friendships being tested, relationships build or broken and bonds of camaderie being forged...

Hey everyone, DVB here with a special Christmas RPG. From now until around next week at least, we have this short RPG to help liven things up in the name of Christmas and in the spirit of things. If it is done well enough, I will do this again next year!

First things first... the seven heroes....

Bűche the Baker, Pyotr the Nutcracker Prince, Marie the Sugarplum Fairy, Carol the Angel, Rudolph the Reindeer , David the Menorah Keeper, and Fir the Ent.

The seven heroes with seven powers... Become either baker that’s a cookie, a nutcracker prince, a sugarplum fairy, a reindeer, a caroling angel, a menorah keeper or an ent

A brief Breakdown of Powers
Baker- Becoming a walking cookie person dressed in the attire, the Baker can regenerate their food parts with ease. Their strength comes in wielding cookies as weaponry as well as making structures out of baked goods. The food they make also has powerful healing properties. They can also reattach parts of themselves.

Nutcracker- Being a princely solider, the hero gains the immense and shattering bite of the Nutcracker. Furthermore, they can wield their rapier with ease and command toys or other inanimate objects to live using magic. They are pretty nimble and quick; fighting coming naturally to them. The hero becomes as if made of wood while dressed in the clothes expected.

Sugarplum Fairy- A user in magic, the sugarplum fairy can fly and carry others. Quick and lithe, the sugarplum fairy incorporates ballet moves in the fighting style. Besides that, he or she can summon candy to attack the enemies or summon enchanted candy that gives a good boost to her comrades. The hero gets placed in dance clothes decorated with subtle candy patterns.

Holiday Angel- Bringing tides of good cheer, the Holiday Angel can also fly. Dressed with a halo, wings and a festive holiday sweater the size of a robe, they can wield their halo like a chakram. Their power comes in being able to use the power of caroling. Either to lull enemies to sleep, hypnotize them, or even in sound attacks. They can easier carry folk that the Sugarplum Fairy.

Reindeer- The hero becomes an anthromorphic reindeer. They keep their clothes though they also wear a belt of sleigh bells. They can fire bursts of red light from their nose. They can also light the way. They are also powerful with their hoof fingers. Their best power comes in summoning yule goats to assist in fighting them and can channel cider to battle.

Menorah Keeper- The user becomes garbed in white with the Star of David on their chest as a medallion. From their back emerges the support candle while the rest of the candle arms emerged from their back. They can wield the menorah arms as extra arms to carry things. They can also summon holy fire from the candle ends and even handle the hot wax to patch things up.

Ent- The hero’s hair becomes made of pine needles while their skin becomes like wood and grows patches of pine on their arms and legs. They still wear their clothing on them. They command nearby conifers to grow and attack while being able to throw pinecones at the foes. Everyone once in a while, they will see ornaments hang on them they can throw for special effects,

Appearance: He stands at five foot, 6 inches. He has low cheekbones, a boyish face, slight stubble, and wears a pair of glasses that darken themselves in bright sunlight. His hair is black with subtle patches of very dark brown, mainly in the tips. His hair is kept trimmed and neat, however the ends on the back of his head are messy and spiky. He has slightly bigger than average eyes, which are chocolate brown. His eyes are large enough that they are noticeably larger than average, even by a margin amount. His skin is a pale shade of olive skin that could be seen from his face.

He wears a black T-shirt with a gold yingyang symbol on front and a white silhouette of Quetzalcoatl, portrayed as an Ouroboros with the crescent moon and sun in the center of the loop on the back. He has on some black cargo pants and black tennis shoes with a red spiral on them. He completes the ensemble with a gray fleece "M-44 Jacket". He also has on a digital watch with him.

Personality: Diego is a warm and emotional person with an occasion fiery temper and an adventurous spirit. He is very empathetic and has a great desire to help people out. Beneath this outgoing personality, Diego is a shy and quiet person. He is also a very artistic individual as he will often draw whenever he gets the chance to do so. He is very loyal, but can come on as clingy, especially around girls. He also likes to cook. When in serious situations, he knows it is time for him to use his intelligence and strengths at their full capacity. He is very creative and known to be devious for his ideas. He is regarded as being very smart in many aspects.

He has his faults, however. Some of these are being blunt, sarcastic, picking fights, laziness and often day-dreaming during certain moments and saying a weird comment afterward. He may also show some malevolent intent or hold grudges for a while. He may even show cruel moments, characterized by a crazed grins and shadows under his eyes. He is prone to snarky or blunt comments and is often unable to figure out what to do in situations with people so will often mess things up, though he means no harm. Despite this or because of it, he tries to overcome these traits so people don’t judge him on his faults and see him as a good person.

Appearance: Benedict is a very slender male, he hardly possesses any physical implication of muscle, giving him more of a female-like form. He has pale white skin, this accompanied with his slender stature almost makes him look starved. He's not very tall, only about 5'4" making him an adorably small height. Benedict has kind of a baby face, covered with freckles. His eyes are a pale greenish blue, and he has a mass of curly ginger hair. He needs glasses, although he (and his signifigant other) both like him much more in contacts.

Benedict usually wears dressier clothing, dressier as in; white dress shirts with white or purple ties, and black dress pants. Although he's learned that it's alright to look casual once in awhile, so he adapted to a red fuzzy, long sleeved turtleneck and the black dress pants. The only thing that makes him actually look like a teenager; is the marvel shoes he wears on his, smaller than average, feet.

Personality: Benedict is very shy and compassionate towards everyone, he blushes very easily at compliments and affection, he also flinches at verbal outbursts due to him being bullied most of his life. He loves to cuddle and show all forms of affection, he loves animals; especially cats. Benedict is slightly damaged due to a few traumatic events in his life, causing him to be withdrawn, distant, and not show his true self. Although around his signifigant other, he's always himself. He's always the super dorky kid, who loves Star Trek and superheroes and never ever wanted to grow up. Benedict is agnostic, although he doesn't make this a commonly known fact.

His small stature irratates him to no end, don't bring up how short he is around him. It upsets him more than anything else because he knows he's done growing, but his signifigant other thinks his small size is actually pretty adorable. He's very good with kids, usually being asked to babysit around his neighbourhood, he always tells the kids magical fairytales, or the more abnormal detective tales.

Appearance: Leo stands at exactly 6'0". While he does not have bodybuilder proportions, he does have a toned athletic physique that he is quite proud of. Due to living in a tropical place most of his life, and because he often goes outdoors, his skin is lightly tanned. Not pale, but not bronzed either. His face is round, and rather boyish. Marked by large, expressive, blue eyes. These features give him a rather youthful appearance. He has short, close cropped black hair, with messy bangs that cover his forehead, and go to his eyebrows. A strand of hair on top of his head always stands up, no matter how much he tries to comb it down. Except for the top of his head, and eyebrows, the rest of his upper body is void of any hair. (As in, no chest hair, no armpit hair, and he can't grow any facial hair.)

For clothing, Leo generally wears what is comfortable. Usually, whatever he pulls out of his closet that day. It usually includes a pair of jeans or cargo shorts, and sneakers or sandals on his feet. He can often be found without a shirt. This is because he was rather scrawny when he was younger, so now that he's put on a little muscle, he likes to show off the results. When he must wear a shirt, it will usually be a skintight tank top, or something low cut/not buttoned/zipped up all the way, and without a shirt underneath. He's not comfortable wearing cloaks or heavy clothing that covers him up too much. He will dress up for formal occasions and colder days when he needs to, but he usually takes it right off when he's able. He wears a pair of aviator goggles on top of his head. He doesn't use them, he just thinks they look cool.

Personality: Leo is a bright, cheerful person with an optimistic view on life. He can often be found with a smile on his face, even when things look bleak. He believes there is some good in everyone, and for that, he is very trusting of others. A genuine nice guy, he is always willing to help someone in need. Often putting the needs of others ahead of his own. Sometimes though, he can be too nice, to the point of gullibility, and people often take advantage of him for it. Leo is very outgoing and social. He likes meeting new people, and making new friends. He is not afraid to strike up a conversation with a random stranger. He is loyal, empathetic, and very protective of those he cares about, making him a good friend to have.

Leo is very energetic. So much so, that it is very difficult for him to sit still and concentrate on one thing for long periods of time. While he is able to think quick on his feet during intense situations. he often acts impulsively, and jumps to conclusions without thinking first. Unlike a lot of guys he's known, Leo is the type of guy who wears his heart on his sleeve, (which is funny, because he doesn't usually wear sleeves.) His feelings are there for everyone to see, and he's pretty easy to read. He even cries openly if something upsets that much, and he is affectionate towards close friends. Due to his cheerful nature, it's difficult to anger him. Push him too far however, and he can be quite dangerous. That said, Leo isn't one to hold grudges for very long, and is very quick to forgive people. He has an affinity for cute things, and he's not ashamed of it at all.

Appearance: Jessica has already grown to her full height and stands at about 5'9". Her hair is a shade of red that is scarlet, which she dyes every now and then. It is long and styled with a bang going to the left, and the rest of her hair put into a curl and it rests on her right, going over her chest. Her eyes are wide and a bright shade of green that looks out of place, but also seems to flow with her appearance. Framing her eyes are a sleek, black pair of glasses, that compliments her face. She is void of any blemishes and has fair skin. She often wears make-up, just to add some color to her light skin. She wears a necklace she had since she was a child made of gold. It lost its sheen throughout the years, but it still maintains its original shape, a teddy bear. Already fully grown, she has a nicely shaped physique, making it hard to distinguish her from any other woman.

In terms of clothing, Jessica likes to dress a more formal type of casual. She usually wears a blouse, and then opts to wear a skirt or tight-fitting jeans. She finishes of with either a pair of sneakers to match, or high heels if she's in the mood. When the weather is too cold to bare, she will switch to wearing more bulky clothing. This would consist of a long-sleeved fleece shirt, topped off with a bulky parka that is white, with the fur around the hood. She then wears jeans that go into her brown fur boots, and a black scarf and earmuff combo.

Personality: Jessica is very friendly and doesn't like to make enemies. If she does happen to have people who dislike her, she won't bother to appeal to them. She only cares for her friends and if you bite her, she'll bite back. Other than that, she is very open to meeting new people. With college in the near future, she feels as if she's ready. She's just cruising through the last year of highschool, ready to jump into the world of adulthood and independence. She may seem like she's a teacher's pet, but she gets into trouble at times. It's only overshadowed by her high marks and intelligence, and she gets let off easy.

At times she will shift from being happy and friendly, to just not being in the mood for anything. She's even considered bipolar by some. When she's not in the mood for anything, she will lash out at anyone, even those close to her. She will act even worse towards the people she dislikes. Unlike her wavering moods, her passion for singing is steadfast. She's had the passion since childhood and has a beautiful voice. She doesn't like to show it off, and is secretive about it. Only a few of her friends actually know.

Not true actually. I saw you do it in my My Little Pony RP (May it rest in piece), and after a quick search I saw that you did it in that Code Lyoko RP as well. And I'm sure DVB would know more examples as well.

And since I feel like I should probably say something that has to do with this thread; I've been toying with the idea of making a character for the Menorah Keeper who's an Atheist of Jewish decent, but I don't know for sure if I will, so don't reserve me yet.

To the people still itnerested, I thank you so much for your patience. Thursday we will begin the RPG. Also, I lament to say Delta that will not be joining us. So if anyoen else wants to leave or join, please do so now.

Elaborate a bit more on appearance and especially personaity

Appearance: Silence has long, white silvery hair that reaches down to his butt, styled in a hime-cut. He wears a white hairband on his head. His right eye is sealed behind a medical eyepatch, and his left eye resembling the clear blue sky. His skin is snow white in hue. His limbs are generally thin and look like they could easily break. He is 1.4 metres tall and his child-like features make him look like a 12-year old girl.

His top resembles that of a regular nutcracker, except it is black with white strings and buttons. Instead of pants, he wears a white skirt. Underneath his skirt is a pair of black thigh-highs. His shoes, too, are black as night.

His rapier has a black handle and white blade.

Personality: Silence, as his name suggests, is a silent young lad(y) who rarely speaks. He responds with simple nods and shakes. While he does has feelings, his face is generally emotionless and dull. He probably has less facial expressions than a Kristen Stewart, to the extent that it takes one to know more about him to understand him. This makes him bad at making friends.

He does, however, care for others, and is a brave soul who is willing to fight for his allies.
